Which Model are you getting?

I still think the SB is more of a Baby Blue colour, it’s nice but just not for me

Still happy to go with my graphite this year :)

BabyBlue-Gate along with the previous year's Bend-Gate and Antenna-Gate!!!!


My screen protectors arrived today. Funny how the packaging doesn't mention that these are for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Literally not a single word. Cost me around £13 on Amazon with a 15% coupon. My Apple Silicone Case in Abyss Blue should arrive Thursday too as it as dispatched today.

Same with my ESR Armorite for my 13 Pro and the ultra clear hybrid case, no mention at all on the packaging or sticker that it’s for my iPhone model. Having looked at both items I’m happy they are correct.

...same for mine!
 
28 quid a month sim only w/ Apple Watch , seems a good deal to me as I mostly use my iPhone as a camera 😝

actually use the watch a lot more than the phone these days tbh
 
Is it bad if I collect a phone on Friday knowing that I’m going to return it in 2 weeks and buy another using another method of payment?

I’ve been using an old iPhone with 16Gb memory for the past and can’t wait for another few weeks
 
Anyone else been 'Upgraded to iCloud+, Free of Charge' ?!

My other half received her email the other day but I didn't get anything (I have the 2Tb plan which is shared with my family - perhaps that's why I didn't get the email ) ?

Not even sure there is any differences with iCloud+ anyway)....?!
It’s just the new name for the iCloud subscription. You’ll be on iCloud+. If you go to the iCloud setting, a pop-up should appear telling you about it. Did for me and I didn’t get the email.

Has anyone who purchased on Friday from Apple not been charged yet? My delivery is not till Oct 4 and I have not been charged. I did get an email confirmation and my order is showing up in the store app but am a bit worried that Apple have not even done a pre authorisation on my card

Yes, people on the Apple one subscriptions have got it for free.

It's been a controversial topic on this thread in past years.
The return policy allows you to do it, you're not doing anything wrong, so do whatever you feel like doing.
Apple is one of the biggest companies in the world, I don't think they'll be too hurt by you returning the phone...

I’d expect you to see movement on Friday too… based on previous years that second slot of deliveries moved on release day

Edit: that’s if you meant you were in that second slot.. think there was a 29-4th Oct slot (around those dates I can’t remember exactly!) and then a further 4-11th I think.
 
actually had never heard of 'mrwhostheboss' but his iPhone 13 video is pretty good. the difference in GPU performance between 13 and 13pro is massive!

I watch all of his videos. I find him quite interesting to watch and listen to as he always seems to speak sense and not just hype everything up for the sake of it.

I know… somehow ended up a video of him purchasing random tech off the the internet and opening it all
 
I’ve never used a case on any previous iPhones, but I’m curious this time round. Only concern is that dust gets down the side of the case and scratches away at the side bands. Can anyone share their experience if a 12 Pro/Pro Max having used a case, given the polished sides?
No issues here (Spigen Ultra Hybrid case) but then I do remove the case to charge overnight and give it a wipe out pretty regularly to get rid of any bits of dust / grit.

I think anyone who was previously paying for any tier of iCloud storage above the free (5GB?) one will get the upgrade. It's not linked to having Apple One (although if you have Apple One you do get it anyway, because upgraded iCloud storage is part of that plan). The additional features are iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, HomeKit Secure Video and Custom Email Domains.

The additional on iCloud+ is private relay (vpn), hide my email, HomeKit security video on iCloud without using your storage plan and custom email domains.

But as mentioned it’s just a rebrand for subscribed plans

It’s not Apple it’s more the people still waiting for a phone themselves who could of had that unit.
